SARCASTIC
(By CiVi"- — Presa A&t* ciation.—Copyrigii.) (Received May ICth, 9.25 p.m.) OTTAWA, May 16. Sir "Wilfrid Laurier, in his final speech in the naval debate, said it was hollow mockery to say that an emergency existed in Britain, necessitating additional battleships in the North Sea, for Mr Churchill had deliberately decided to place the Canadian ships, not in the North Sea, but at Gibraltar.
